Here are directions for your car.

Water Pump
Removal

Drain engine cooling system as described.

Release drive belt tensioner (6B209) and remove drive belt (8620) .
Remove the upper radiator hose from the water pump connections.

Remove the crankshaft pulley.

Remove the water pump from vehicle.

Installation

Place water pump onto engine and carefully install into position until seated.

Install two top retaining nuts. Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft).

Raise vehicle.

Install two bottom retaining nuts. Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft).

Install radiator and heater water hose to the water pump . Position clamps securely.

Install A/C compressor to water pump bracket. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft).

Install the crankshaft pulley.
Install the upper radiator hose to water pump.

Install drive belt .

CAUTION: Use extreme care to keep coolant mixture off of the drive belt and pulleys. If needed, remove drive belt and rinse with clear water. Clean pulleys and install drive belt. Belt squeal and early belt fatigue will occur otherwise.

Fill engine cooling system

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

You can remove the upper radiator hose, put something on the ground to catch the coolant and start the engine to see if it's circulating. You will have to wait until the thermostat opens and keep feeding water to the radiator to be sure it doesn't run out. Other than that, removing the pump is the only way to find out. This does happen to fords more than any other make.

REMOVAL:
1.Drain engine cooling system.
2.Release drive belt tensioner and remove drive belt.
3.Remove radiator and water heater hose from the water pump connections.
4.Remove A/C compressor to water pump brace.

5.Remove four bolts retaining water pump to engine and remove water pump.

INSTALLATION
1.Place water pump onto engine and carefully install into position until seated.
2.Install four retaining bolts. Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. lbs.).
3.Install radiator and heater water hose to the water pump. Position clamps securely.

4.Install A/C compressor to water pump bracket. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. lbs.).
5.Install drive belt.
6.Fill engine cooling system.

CAUTION: Use extreme care to keep coolant mixture off of the drive belt and pulleys. If needed, remove drive belt and rinse with clear water. Clean pulleys and install drive belt. Belt squeal and early belt fatigue will occur otherwise.

First, you need to remove the clamp that attaches it to the pump. Once it is off, twist the hose. The hoses get corroded in place from years of use. If you can't get it to turn by hand, use a large pair of channel locks to twist the hose on the housing. Once it turns, it should pull off.

NOTE: Make sure the hose clamp is removed or loose enough to pull over the small flange at the end of the water pump inlet / outlet. Also, if you plan to replace the hose, you can use a utility knife to cut the hose where it attaches to the pump and peel it off.

Hi there,

You can put a small amount of thread sealer on all the bolts, but just probe each bolt hole with a length of wire and the hole that dose not bottom out (there abouts bolt length) is the one that will require sealant as it goes into the water jacket.

Hello my name is Dave.

I have attached a diagram and instructions for replacing the water pump on your car.
Here are the instructions;
REMOVAL
1. Drain engine coolant.
2. Release drive belt tensioner and remove accessory drive belt. Refer to Engine.
3. Remove radiator and water heater hose from the water pump connections.
4. Remove A/C compressor to water pump brace.
5. Remove four bolts retaining water pump to engine and remove water pump.

INSTALLATION
1. Place water pump onto engine and carefully install into position until seated.
2. Install four retaining bolts. Tighten to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. Lbs.).
3. Install radiator and heater water hose to the water pump. Position clamps securely.
4. Install A/C compressor to water pump bracket. Tighten bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 ft. Lbs.).
5. Install accessory drive belt.

CAUTION: Use extreme care to keep coolant mixture off of the drive belt and pulleys. If needed, remove drive belt and rinse with clear water. Clean pulleys and install drive belt. Belt squeal and early belt fatigue will occur otherwise.

6. Fill engine cooling system with coolant.

I hope it helps and thank you for using 2CarPros!

Hello again, it's hard to tell from pics exactly how the hose/line is in the way or what type it is and I don't have one available to look at in person. It looks to me like if you use a swivel socket or a universal joint you should be able to get a socket and extension around the hose/line.
If you can't do that I would look for brackets that hold the hose so that you can move it out of the way, you shouldn't have to move it much to gain access to the bolts.

Thanks for that info.

You're still going to need to remove the water pump, because the pump housing gasket is underneath the pump. Removal and installation procedures are as follows:

REMOVAL:

Disconnect the negative battery cable, then place a drain pan under the radiator drain cock.
Carefully remove the radiator cap, then open the drain cock on the radiator and drain the cooling system.
Loosen the four water pump pulley retaining bolts while the accessory drive belts are still tight
Loosen the alternator belt adjuster jack screw to provide enough clearance for the removal of the alternator belt.
Using a 1 / 2 in. breaker bar, rotate the automatic tensioner down and to the left. Remove the power steering/air conditioner belt.
Remove the two nuts and bolt retaining the drive belt automatic tensioner to the engine, then remove the tensioner.
Disconnect and remove the lower radiator and heater hose from the water pump.
Remove the eleven water pump-to-engine retaining bolts, then lift the water pump and pulley up and out of the vehicle.

INSTALLATION:

Clean the gasket surfaces on the water pump and front cover. Lightly oil all bolt and stud threads except those requiring special sealant.
Position a new water pump housing gasket on the water pump sealing surface using Gasket and Trim Adhesive D7AZ-19B508-B or equivalent, to hold the gasket in place.

Apply Pipe Sealant with Teflon D8AZ-19554-A or equivalent to bolt No. 3 (see fig.) before installation.

With the water pump pulley and retaining bolts loosely installed on the water pump, align the water pump-to-engine front cover, then install the retaining bolts.
Tighten the bolts to the following specifications:
Numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 Nm).
Numbers 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 to 71-106 inch lbs (8-12 Nm).

Hand-tighten the water pump pulley retaining bolts.
Install the automatic belt tensioner assembly. Tighten the two retaining nuts and bolt to 35 ft. lbs. (47 Nm).
Install the alternator and power steering belts. Final tighten the water pump pulley retaining bolts to 15-22 ft. lbs. (22-30 Nm).
Position the hose clamps between the alignment marks on both ends of the hose, then slide the hose on the connection. Tighten the hose clamps to 20-30 inch lbs. (2.2-3.4 Nm).
Fill and bleed the cooling system with the appropriate quantity and coolant type.
Connect the negative battery cable. Start the engine and check for leaks

That's the front engine cover oil seal. It should leak oil, not coolant, if it has failed. You certain the coolant is leaking from that crack, or maybe just dripping down to that making it look that way?
